Dominance War V - 3D - God of Violence - Gordon_Freeman

[Gordon_Freeman]

Hi guys! The God I'm going to create is violent and evil, he uses wrath and fear as weapons to cause suffering and death. I'll show you soon ...:evil:

[Gordon_Freeman]

Here I am with two sketches of the god's face.

[miclepickle]

looking good!.. just be careful to make it not look too much like The Thing. :P

hahahahaha..... don't worry he has the skin just a little bit dry...

[BiG ToE-3DT]

its looking good.

[Greg_Brown]

Nice! Loving the sketches.

[SnappedStrings]

Nice starting concept, looks really malevolent. Maybe a good idea would be to give him lots of scars and cuts and stuff, as if to say that he loves violence so much he has a sort sado-masochistic personality and enjoys causing pain even to himself. Also, it might give further impression that he is the god of violence, as if he were slashed in combat or something.

Looking forward to concepts, nice work

[Warlock 279]

Rad sketch. I like how the face tapers from light to dark as it moves toward the back of the head. Very cool, definitely looking forward to seeing more of this guy.

[mix_mash]

Great start! I look forward to seeing the rest of the body.

here's a quick update on the expression of anger.

thanks for the suggestion, it's a good deduction and with a good chance I will take it

[DeoxyWater]

awesome drawing......what a mad god lol

[Vitrux]

Looks perfect by now! good concept keep going.

[Crispy4004]

Looks like the face of a ring wraith mixed with the Thing. I really like it.

[frostsnake]

looking really cool. I like how the eyes have that fog like appearance.

[miclepickle]

agreed

[xxxcubanxxx]

looking good so far, loving the head concept

[washka]

Hot stuff around, gl onto da comp man!

[Gordon_Freeman]

ok, waiting to get a good idea for the armor, I tried to sculpt the head

[BiG ToE-3DT]

fist bump. It's better than saying thanks for posting the good stuff.

[Cordero]

looking good so far!

good luck

[redonix76]

Very nice sculpt! coming along nicely indeed. Keep it up!!

[Vitrux]

Incredible! go go go !!

[washka]

I smell hot stuff and big experience here...

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

[Puckducker]

Fantastic start to the sculpt. Already has a ton of character.

I'm wondering why this rocky character would need armour, he looks extremely tough already.

I agree... his "flesh" looks pleanty tough enough to me... I would sculpt out the whole body then decide on armor after you have the body...

[mix_mash]

The sculpt looks good but I wanna see the rest of the design! Unless, of course, your character is just a giant bust...

[puerto77]

Looking great man, look forward to seein some full body concepts

[Gordon_Freeman]

Here we are, I started working on the character's blockout jumping from ZBrush to topogun and finally Maya. So this is what I've got so far.
I'm planning to add more stuff on top of the torso...

[thefmilyofblood]

Awesome. It's great having you on our side.

Hmm. Now I'm going to have to redo mine to try and make it look as good as yours.

[Gordon_Freeman]

thank you thefmilyofblood

[Vitrux]

Wow that is very empressive! ! Good look with the rest of the challenge!
I love this God !! :dance:

[zugok]

Looking great so far! I like stoney feel and look forward to seeing how that ties into the rest.

Cheers

[Gordon_Freeman]

thank you guys! here is a little update

[Vitrux]

That is very very good! I love it!

[thefmilyofblood]

Still awesome. I can't wait to see how the rocky sculpting will fit into this.

[peppe3d]

Hey Simone, good work so far!
I've attended your creature sculpting workshop this year at view conference! Nice to see you entered this competition, and even more since there is another Italian here, like me, and above all, it's great the fact that I will have the opportunity to challenge with you! :P

[washka]

Hot stuff so far, no comment, impressive work. Is Bad*ss god enought?

Look this one:

[Warlock 279]

Looks good. Armor looks really cool.

I suppose the only suggestion I have is that I'd probably explore having those sharp points off the armor twisted so that they stick into his skin. But they look really cool as is.

[paulius-st]

great things happening here. :) i'll ceep an eye on this one :)
good luck

[mix_mash]

Looking good. I love the skull thing at the back of his head.

wow! poor poor Achab!

ok here's a little update (I am so slow), the fear blade.
Now I need to forge the hammer of the wrath for the other hand, the primary weapon.

[koyima]

Nice base. Only thing is: maybe you defined too much?

On the armor I mean. Like the topology of the shoulder.

[Cordero]

nice stuff!
I like if something has moving parts to it, so I really like that blade ;)

I was wondering, if you have the time, that you could check out my DW entry.. I saw your "Female Demon" sculpt on your website, its pretty cool, maybe you can give a tip or two why does my girl look like crap :D

[mix_mash]

ok here's a little update (I am so slow),

Not as slow as me and my design is simpler than yours!

Anyway, like the blade idea. Any prop that animates, in my opinion, is bonus points in this comp.

hi guys, this is the first rough sculpt approach, critiques are welcome!

[paulius-st]

awsome. <a href="http://www.gifbin.com/981283"><img src="http://www.gifbin.com/bin/25swsw037377.gif" alt="funny gifs" /></a>

[wil_himura]

Awesome indeed, I'm looking for something similar in some parts of my model. Inspiration!!

I like those bony straps a lot. They work and the overall look is consistent. Great job

[Pockets]

amazing, loving the texture youve got, keep being awesome.

[thefmilyofblood]

The sculpting's still awesome. The spikes, however, look soft and blobby, though I'm sure you can fix that up.

The blade is really cool too, reminds me of all the retractable parts on SlipGate's N0X character.

[koyima]

nice progress.

[praveen3d]

Awesome concept sketches!! looking forward for more.

[Vitrux]

Superb, !!

[TMNI VISION]

looking awesome. can't wait to see it finished :).

[washka]

Some more (back curved diagonal) spikes, from shoulders or neck, or in flange back?
(Agressive look)

[Martin_x]

Great sculpt! I agree that spikes look kind of soft, but I guess you haven't really worked on them yet. Keep up great work!

[koyima]

I see only one "problem" and that is that the current armor configuration is always reminding me of Imrod (http://www.gameartisans.org/dominancewar/images/Support/imrod.jpg).

If you don't mind I will post a sketch of an idea or two to overcome this (without losing stuff) tomorrow morning.

[Puckducker]

Great looking sculpt, really selling the rocky look. I feel like the transition from the shoulder down to the forearm could use some work, I would think there could be more definition in how the rock becomes less dominant, rather than just fading out.

Great stuff overall though.

[hulahuga]

Looks good, I dig the face! General proportions and the hands look great as well :)

Perhaps deepen the cracks and make sure to go over the rocks with the polish, perhaps with an alpha applied...

[GoodAtom]

great character man
I really like it

[Gordon_Freeman]

hi guys! I'm back with new update on the armor...

If you don't mind I will post a sketch of an idea or two to overcome this (without losing stuff) tomorrow morning.

@ koyima: you are damn right! for this reason I decided to model the armor in maya as an hard surface in traditional way (everything has to be topologically precise).
And if you want to post some sketches you are always welcome!

here are 2 solutions... personally I prefer the second one!

[Vitrux]

Looks Brilliant man ! Congratz! !

[paulius-st]

looking great. ceep it up :)

[hulahuga]

Yepp me too...
Would have been good with a wireframe and a shaded shot for each though... ;)

[Gordon_Freeman]

thank you guys! little update on the belt...

[GregStrangis]

Looking awesome! Maybe you can exaggerate his proportions abit as he is looking more like a warrior right now. Or add something to show this guys big scale. Keep it up!

[AlucardAssassin]

That is awesome! Really inspiring.

[Vitrux]

Hey Mate! how is your God! want to see him !! :)

[Gordon_Freeman]

I changed armour's shape! I'll go for symmetry

[hulahuga]

A bit more majestic design now! :)

What will those sprites be?

[Gordon_Freeman]

A bit more majestic design now!

What will those sprites be?

if you mean those polygons on the head, they want to be a sort of crown but it's just a try...

[hulahuga]

Cool, so this means you go away quite a deal from your original thought of him as god of violence, or has he just grown more refined?

[GoodAtom]

good change man, looking good;)

[Vitrux]

Looks much better now!

[Bulygin]

huge design

[Gordon_Freeman]

Cool, so this means you go away quite a deal from your original thought of him as god of violence, or has he just grown more refined?

I just wanted to change some basic concepts that I had for the "God of Violence". From the start I thoght to represent him as an asymmetrical composition of two simple metaphors of fear and wrath, one on the right arm and the other on the left arm, on the right the weapon was a hammer (wrath) and the other one a kind of sword-arm (fear). Now the character is symmetrical and he brandishes a sword that splits into two smaller swords.
I'll show you soon...

[hulahuga]

Sounds good then! :)

[pappete1]

awesom work man,i love how u make the new armor!!!!!!..GoW insipiration:lurve:?

[Gordon_Freeman]

I have not just inspired by GOW, although I can not deny that the result is similar (hahahaha it's pretty much the same), I tried a style that could be not too fantasy, medieval or sci-fi, I was searching something out of time...

[Gordon_Freeman]

start sculpting!

[Martin_x]

Great sculpt. Hope you'll have enough time to finish it.

[Vitrux]

Great sculpt. Hope you'll have enough time to finish it.

Yeahh. . ! Hope so.. .

[DeoxyWater]

awesome job on the sculpting.

Hope you can finish it +1.

[hulahuga]

Majestic man!

Keep this up :)

[Pockets]

phenomenal sculpt!

only thing i dont like about it is the symmetry in the abs, its quite glaring; otherwise its a wonderfully designed and sculpted character.

[Steban]

Really cool model, great arm sculpt :)

[Gordon_Freeman]

thank you guys!
Head update

[Vitrux]

!! W !! O !! W !! :blah:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I was going to ask why he was sooooo mad looking, then notice he has all that stuff stuck in his body. I bet he can't even sit down. That would **** me off too.

[capitan_popo]

WOW! I love the design of the suit!! hope u can finish!!!

[Gordon_Freeman]

ok this is the hi-poly mesh! I'm working on swords and low poly now...

[Vitrux]

Fantastic!! :dance: your god is really realle brilliant!

[Gordon_Freeman]

swords hi poly:

[Gordon_Freeman]

hilt close up

[hulahuga]

Awesome!

Some more visible blade detail would be nice though :)

[Vitrux]

Come on.. some hours left :(

[Gordon_Freeman]

Here I am

[Martin_x]

Congrats man. Amaizing results!

[Animill]

The texture definitely gave a huge difference, good luck man :)

[TMNI VISION]

It was very challenging to finish lowres in that short period of time so congratulation on that:). Looks good . Good luck on voting .

[GoodAtom]

Congrats, good character;)

[Gordon_Freeman]

Thank you guys!

Topogun miracle! It saves a lot of time!

[Vitrux]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance: !! excellent result!

[hulahuga]

Thank you guys!



Topogun miracle! It saves a lot of time!

Aha, so that's why ;P Seems this one really turned out to be almost solely a sculpting challenge for you then...

Epic end result but to be honest I thought the diffuse was a bit flat and to washed out in a way, too bad with such a great model, but I guess it was an issue of time.


Looking forward to seeing more works from you around here!

[Gordon_Freeman]

You are right! Time.... my old enemy!

[Stupendoman]

awesome!

[ZenMan]

I quite like this one, everything looks good, maybe too symetrical and compared to how he looks, his size he should have a massive sword also make to look like rock/metal. Just personal taste..
Overall 4 stars!

[xpander]

very god '.'
+ Details, + perfect :)

[Steppan]

wow, first of all your character looks great and I'm sure it helped that you started off with some very good and solid concepts.
My favourite part is the head, there is a lot of detail and the eyes really bring life into the character. I love what you've done with the back of the head too, he looks so damn cool; though I still don't think I would want to meet him haha
Also I like the idea behind the sword splitting off into 2 swords, it looks good though I have no doubt if you'd had more time you would have added even more detail to them?

well done!!

[Neil_F01]

cool entry.. like it...

[Imob123]

really nice concept keep up the good work.
